Welcome back, readers! We are getting close to Christmas. I live where it is hot most of the year, but at this time of year, the weather changes and for a couple of months we have perfect weather for being outside and enjoying nature. I hope where you are, the weather is as nice as it is here.

This week we will be picking up our books and reading Chapter 13, which is called Hitching a Ride. Last we were with X-mas, his Chomping doll companion Netty,  and Rex, X-mas described to Rex how to travel to the North Pole using the Power Plant Teleportals. These three have a plan and are on their way. Let’s see what they are up to.

Before we get started we should get comfortable and take a big deep breath! Great. Let’s begin!
